A Day in Photos: Navy Pier + Update

What a wonderful day yesterday was! I met up with a few of my best friends and we had a girl's day at Navy Pier! It was hot and crowded, but we created so many memories :) Here are some photos of my day:

The tables behind the swings was our favorite place to sit- shaded and a great view!

 We got Dippin' Dots! I got the Cookies and Cream and it was SO good! 

Friendship bracelets!

We went mini-golfing! This is a photo of the pond there hahaha

Some pretty flowers! Gosh, downtown is so beautiful

This is what I bought! A Wonder Woman tote (shopping bag style)

I got a henna tattoo! It's messy, but I don't care :) (Ignore my big bruise beside it, it's from getting blood drawn)



I got an Instagram account! But I can't change my dumb profile photo. Check it out! I'm @centuarette - I follow back :)

Work has been so stressful and long! I'm glad I get paid this upcoming Friday (company policy idk)! I'm going to treat myself to some makeup and clothes!

Wisconsin Dells! If all goes well, I'll be there August 1-4 (I say "if all goes well" because my aunt is... strange and I'll just leave it at that).

Friday Favorites: Summer Essentials!

Work has been so hectic but online shop browsing after a long day of work makes things so much better. Here are this week's Friday Favorites- they're some summer essentials I've been wanting!

Raindrops Keep Falling - Modcloth
120 Palette 4 - Coastal Scents
Rose-Colored Sunglasses - Modcloth
Heartbreaker Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters

I know what you're thinking... how is an umbrella and makeup summer essentials? Well, around here it rains a lot. Plus, I don't have a nice umbrella. As for the palette, look at all those bright colors! I've been wearing so many pastels and brights lately and putting on some fun colors sounds like so much fun! The rose sunglasses are awesome. You'll understand why I want them when I post about my new glasses next week (sorry for the delay!). The heart sunglasses are so cute! I tried on a similar pair (possibly even from the same company) at Pacsun and fell in love!

Summer!




Summer is here! Well, technically it isn't until June 21st, but summer break is here! This summer has been great so far and will be one of the best since Summer 2011 (Florida!). I'm gonna lay out my plans/goals for this summer in this here blog post~



1. Create a  for my blog!
I was hoping to make a Youtube for my blog this summer, but I'd like to get a better camera first! So camera first, Youtube channel second! I'd review things, make package opening videos, Vinylmation videos, makeup videos, etc.!

2. Go to Six Flags with my friends
I'm planning on doing this after my birthday. We're working it out right now and it's sounding like it's gonna happen! One of my friends who is going has never been and I'm so excited to go with her for the first time! I haven't been to Six Flags in a good 3-4 years, so I'm excited to go again! I'm also hoping to go to the water park with them. Also, what's a Six Flags trip if you don't get their deluxe funnel cake?

3. Go to Wisconsin for 3 days
My aunt invited me to Wisconsin a couple of months ago! I'm so excited. It's planned for early August, I believe. Once we are there, we (my aunt, her husband, her kids, and my cousin) will chill out at the rented home and go to the water parks on the second day. We'll eat out at restaurants, shop, check out local attractions, etc.! I'm very excited for this and hope I don't get too sun burned!

4. Birthday Party
My 20th birthday... oh how I dread you and want you to come faster! Dread because I'm turning 20. No longer a teen... getting older. If anyone knows me, I'm a total kid at heart. Turning 20 is scary to me. With age comes more needed responsibility. But with birthdays come presents, cake, and parties! I'll be celebrating either the day before or the day after my trip to Six Flags. My birthday party last year was so much fun! My family loves celebrating things, so there are parties for just about everyone. May and June are very big with parties! I want to have a fun party like before- sundaes, balloon fights, chocolate cake, possibly goody bags!

5. Buy loads of stuff!
With 20th birthday's come loads of birthday cash. So why not spend it on my favorite things? Sanrio and Disney stuff! I'll buy things at Wisconsin Dells for my mom and sister, buy things at Six Flags, buy things at Sanrio and the Disney Store, and just spend it all!

6. Read 5 books
Now onto a more serious topic (sort of)- books! I haven't read any books for my sole entertainment in so long. It's all about school books and not enough about books I actually want to read. I have one that I hope on starting this week, but I also want to read the second Hunger Games book and another John Green book. I have other books on my Amazon Wishlist I'd like to buy/read but I'll get to those after I read Catching Fire and my John Green book.

7. Go to the beach
I only went to the beach once last year when it was like the hottest day ever. It kind of sucked, but I still want to go again. I love the whole experience- sand castles, swimming, sandwiches, and chips.

That's all I can think of for now~ let's hope I stick to most of these!

Recent Purchases

Hello! Today I will show you the items I bought over the weekend.

The Hello Kitty 2013 sunglasses were $8!  I know that you can find similar sunglasses online for very cheap but these are a new release- notice the polka dot design on the inside, the sketch of Hello Kitty on the side and the scribbled "Hello Kitty" polka dot on the other side. Also, these have a small Hello Kitty on the frame itself and (my favorite part) the bow on the corner has a gem in the middle!


I bought this Covergirl Liquiline Blast eyeliner pencil in Blue Bloom. It was on sale (buy 1 get 1 50)
and I had a coupon, so why not? It'll be interesting trying this out and seeing what I can wear with this (in terms of clothes, not other makeup). My mom got the brown one~



I bought this top at the same store I found the Hello Kitty sunglasses. I was on the fence about it because 1. Cultural Appropriation 2. It was huge 3. The fit is very iffy (because it is big AND loose, it'll be difficult to see if it will work)
I tried it on (no undershirt, so I but that pretty neon butterfly) and I love the way it looked with the black jeans I had on. You can't really tell, but the Native American is neon. So it fit nice, looked cute with jeans (and probably even better with shorts), and it was only $7! I couldn't say no 



Had too much fun on Saturday! I bought the sunglasses and top later on that day but earlier I hung out with my friends! We went bowling, at Thai food, had frozen yogurt, and talked and talked and talked. We're definitely making a lot of plans on what we're doing after this semester ends! Six Flags, mini golfing, lots of other stuff!
